An Empty Canvas Is A Living Wonder

That Is Beautiful Which Is Produced By The Inner Need, Which Springs From The Soul.

In Place Of An Intensive Cooperation Among Artists, There Is A Battle For Goods. Hatred, Partisanship, Cliques, Jealousy, And Intrigues Are The Natural Consequences Of An Aimless, Materialist Art.

An Empty Canvas Is A Living Wonder - Far Lovelier Than Certain Pictures.

Efforts To Revive The Art Principles Of The Past At Best Produce Works Of Art That Resemble A Stillborn Child.

There Is, However, In Art Another Kind Of External Similarity Which Is Founded On A Fundamental Truth. When There Is A Similarity Of Inner Tendency In The Whole Moral And Spiritual Atmosphere, A Similarity Of Ideals, At First Closely Pursued But Later Lost To Sight, A Similarity In The Inner Feeling Of Any One Period To That Of Another, The Logical Result Will Be A Revival Of The External Forms Which Served To Express Those Inner Feelings In An Earlier Age.
